Summer Dreamin'


Summer  is the challenge theme this week at FOSTV.  When I think of summer I think how fun it would be to spend time on a sailboat but we do not have one so I am just dreaming about Summer by making this card for inspiration. I used a New Stamp soon to be released by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. It was so easy to make this card because it is finely detailed and fun to color.  I colored the buildings with bright colors as if the boat is docked on a Caribbean Island.  And I personalized the boat in a special way---do you notice??  The scene looks like a water color and more so because the paper  has a grainy look.  What are your summer dreams or fun realities?
Challenges:
Craft a Scene:  Beach Scene -sand and water


Supplies:
Stamps: "Island Life" set by  Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co
Inks: Ranger Distress Ink Tea Dye, Memento  Summer Sky and Rich Cocoa Pads and Memento Markers Angel Pink. Cantaloupe, Dandelion, Bamboo Leaves, Potter's Clay, Rich Cocoa

    Love the idea of your sail boat being in the Caribbean Theresa, that works perfectly for me. Beautiful card.

    Great card - love the boat name! I would rather be on the island rather than the boat - get sea sick!
